Patented Nov. 5, 1929 PAPER CLIP Application filed April 18,

This invention relates to paper clips and has for its object to providea pin clip or clamp so formed that while the paper is pierced only onceby the pin it will nevertheless be held firmly and securely together.

Another object of the invention is to'provide a pin clip so formed thatpapers secured thereby will be held perfectly flat and devoid ofbuckling such as is usually the case where a number of papers are pinnedtogether. L

A further object of the invention is to provide a pin clip in which thepin shank is bent upon itself the pin having a sinuous hea-c adapted tocoact with the shank upon which it lies to form a spring clip betweenwhich papers may be securely held.

WVith the above and such other objects in view as may hereinafter morefully appear, I have invented the device shown in the accompanyingdrawings in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my invention;

Figure 2 is a similar view of another form of the device;

Figure 3 is a plan view of another modification; 7

Figure 1} is an edge view thereof;

Figure 5 is a plan View of another modification shown in operation; and

Figure 6 is a section on line ure 5. V

Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the followingspecification, and in the several views in the drawings in which 1indicates a pin clip for securing a number of sheets of paper togetherand so formed that the papers are pierced only once by the pin, securelyclamped together. The clip consists of a shank 2, having a slightlyofiset portion 3, and directly there-above bent at 4 and returned uponitself as at 5, the returned portion having an offset 6 directlyopposite the oifset 3, to form a loop 7, directly-below which is aslight hump 8, normally bearing against the shank terminates at itslower end in a pin point 9. The shank portion-12 terminates at its lowerend in a sickle shaped cross head 10 adapted 6+6 of Fig- Letters Patentis and are held perfectly fiat and portion 2. The portion 2 I 1928.Serial No. 271,083.

to form a secure grip upon the paper and hold the same clamped to theshank 2.

In Figure 2 I show a slight modification in which the shank portions 11and 12 are bent I flat upon themselves eliminating the loop provided inthe larger clip of Figure 1.

In Figure 3 I show a modification in which the shank portion 13 isprovided with an outbent part 1a above which the shank is bent uponitself as at 15, and the returned shank portion 16 run straight untilthe S-shaped head 17 is reached, the headcrossing the v shank 18 at theseparate spaced apart horizontal planes 19 and 20.

In Figure 6 the formof the clip 21 is in al1 respects similar to that ofFigure 1, except the head 22, is formed 8-shaped as in Fig ure 3.

7 Having described myinvention that whic I claim to be new and desire toprocure by 1. In a paper clip a shank pointed at one end and terminatingin an eye at the other end, an extension from said eye terminating in across head member, bearing centrally upon said shank, said extensionparalleling said shank, and bearing thereupon, a loopformed vi:

between said shank and said Xtension intermediate said eye and crosshead. i

2. They combination defined in claim 1, said cross head being S-shaped.
